I don't want America getting involved in foreign conflicts like that of Ukraine and Russia. Let them sort their own mess out. That being said, I
can't ignore the utter garbage Putin apologists here are trodding out. Really now this is suppose to be ATS for goodness sakes.

The term was being used by Russian media before Biden or Western media ever used it. So was Russian media using it to disparage their own
country?

No, but black people can use the N word & I can't. Same concept. Whether RT calls their own soldiers that or not, it still does nothing but
subconsciously sway american public opinion towards the negative.

LOOOOOOOOOOOL !

So now I am a Putin apologist!

Too funny.

I had my suspicions. You dirty Putin apologist.

Guess i have to state the obvious, but I share my contempt equally between Biden, his boss, and Putin.

But I'm an Putin apologist.

Never been called one of those. I am going to have to add it to the other list of things I get called.

I don't think the american people need this government to sway them about what's happening in Ukraine. It's pretty darn apparent, Russia's
involvement is pretty obvious. I find it amusing how some people are getting all up in arms that this administration has an actual position on what's
happening in Ukraine. What you expect them to ignore what's happening there, not say anything? Don't be coy.

LOL It's alright, I've been called a
shill, a libtard, a neo-con, a nazi, and probably a number of other things on here that I can't remember. Wear those accusations like badges of honor
against ignorance.

I don't think I'm being coy, & I definitely don't think think anything changes between one administration & the next.

I do, however, think that the human construction of politics is a laughable representation of our service as willing slaves & to truly care about
anything done by TPTB is an effort beyond futility.

When Moscow-backed troops appeared in Crimea earlier this year, the media dubbed them the "Little Green Men." Now NATO members should ask
themselves how they will respond if the soldiers begin appearing in Estonia and Latvia too.

For the first time, Putin acknowledged that the well-armed soldiers in unmarked uniforms who took over Ukraine's Crimean Peninsula were Russian. He
seemed annoyed, however, by the widespread description of them as "little green men"

ThatSOB is behind the war there....Its a giant resource grab.....they get the Ukrain into a scrap with Russia, then reap the resources for arms deals
with the MIC of the US.....win win for Biden, plus his son is now a CEO of ukranian gas company....figure it out....its just powerful businessess who
are encouraging the killing to make dollars...

Really Joe ? Putin is sending little green men into Ukraine? I don't know whether to laugh or cry at this. Such an asinine way to describe
Russian troops. Biden has made some epic mistatements in the past. Often being over looked because Biden is so loveable. Hey everyone ?
Russia is sending little green men in to Ukraine! What's next ? Aliens, reptilians, and chubacabra's ?

Vice President Biden is questioning Moscow's committment to peace, accusing Russian President Vladimir Putin of sending unmarked soldiers
known as "little green men" into Ukraine.

Obviously I don't think Biden seriously meant little green men from mars. It's just the way it sounds. Biden gaffes are well known to most people
paying attention to American politics. Hell maybe even Putin himself got a chuckle from dear ole Joe.

Rather than laugh or cry...maybe read/search a little? Biden did not coin the term "Little Green Men"...

Not a Gaffe...a term used by Journalists and Citizens aware of the conflict.

You need to turn-down your freak-out meter a little IMO. Their seems to be a spate of knee-jerk "gotcha" OPs that turn out to be embarrassingly
false with the slightest amount of research.

It was first used during the 2014 Crimean crisis, when said soldiers have occupied and blockaded most military bases in Crimea. Due to the green
colour of their uniforms and modern weaponry local people started to call them martians too. An expert from Suomen Sotilas, a Finnish independent
magazine, recognized them carrying a complete suite of equipment exclusive to Russian special forces, such as Pecheneg machine guns.

BBC..
"Little green men" or "Russian invaders"?
"Another phrase used by reporters in Russia and Ukraine alike is "little green men", which refers both to the colour of their uniforms and their
unconfirmed origin. " www.bbc.com...

Why are you guys surprised he is calling them little green men??
Or did you not notice them being called this from the VERY beginning??
I swear people have zero memory these days.

The ignorance is either genuine or feigned...either way it is the same old irony of rushing to falsely call someone ignorant...due to the fact that
you don't care to recognize your own or remedy the same.

I don't understand people that rush to broadcast a claim without investing at least the 60 seconds of googling required to educate oneself first about
the topic you think so important that it is OP worthy.
